Coaching Teenage Girls Workshop

Following the release of the Adolescent Girls Get Active Report, Sport Ireland are happy to announce the launch of a Coaching Teenage Girls in Sport Workshop, designed specifically to support coaches of girls aged 12-17 years of age.

Developed by Sport Ireland Coaching in conjunction with the Federation of Irish Sport, the School of Health & Human Performance Dublin City University and Lifes2Good Foundation, the workshop is developed to enable coaches to create a positive experience of sport and physical activity for girls in their formative years and provide an environment where girls and young women can develop holistically.

Our next workshop takes place on Thursday 9th March from 6pm-9pm – Cost is €20
